The FIA has received a request for Kimi Antonelli to be granted a super licence before his 18th birthday...
While Williams team boss James Vowles says Logan Sargeant has “more work to do”, it would appear he is safe from losing his seat to Kimi Antonelli, for now.
“Let’s put it this way, I haven’t spoken to Kimi since Abu Dhabi last year,” Vowles told media at the Miami Grand Prix, Sargeant’s home race. “Hopefully that puts it in context.“We are looking, as everyone else is, for where we want to be on driver line-up for next year. And we have our own young driver programme.“In case of him coming into the car this year, I’ve always said from the beginning, it’s a meritocracy.
“We’re still on that journey. What Logan has as a challenge fundamentally in front of him is enormous. We can’t underrate where Alex is as a driver. He was I think underrated before and he’s a brilliant, brilliant driver in his own entity. “And here in Miami, at his home Grand Prix, I’m putting him on my shoulders and supporting him, because that’s what we should be doing at this point. He’s in the car, he’ll remain in the car. And my job here is supporting him.”Stars and racing stripes: Six American teams that failed to crack F1
“Alex has done championship-level drives and at the moment, he’s not scoring points. And fundamentally, we have it on us to improve our car going forward. That’s my primary concern more than anything else.
